Holy shit.

Massive fucking lawsuit.

Massive constitutional infractions.

"Additionally, by virtue of the fact that the webcam can be remotely activated at any time by the school district, the webcam will capture anything happening in the room in which the laptop computer is located, regardless of whether the student is sitting at the computer and using it.

I bet when they signed for the laptop the contract allowed this.

the contract would be void. you can't allow someone to log into a young girls webcam anytime when she could be naked etc.

EVEN if they did sign it it wouldn't matter.

Bingo. String the administrators who approved/used this system waaaay up high for everyone to see.

It would only take one image in their records. Maybe not even that, since it's pretty fucking obvious it would only be a matter of time before they captured one.

Charge them all with child pornography distribution.

Getting them with child porn charges on top of everything else would be some spectacular icing on the cake.

What an incredibly stupid idea. What's so scary is the school thought there wasn't anything wrong in doing it. Even common sense would scream terrible idea at any rational person.

It is the logical end result of parents using the school system as a public funded day care system though. Schools now regularly get involved with what takes place between students off school grounds after school hours. Having grown up in the era of "just wait until you are off school grounds" I find it all to be absurd but it is evidently what parents want these days. That said I can't imagine why any district would have thought they could go to this length and not have it blow up in their face once someone figured it out.

I hope the school has to turn over EVERY picture taken with the laptops. Odds are there are going to be pictures of younger girls in at least bra's and panties and perhaps more. IF so THen yes child porn charges NEED to be filled.

who is watching them anyway? is it random? or if they get tips?

this idea whad major potential for abuse. you damn well some pervert is thinking how he would love to spy on some of the girls at the school.

So many laws were broken here I'm surprised they aren't in jail or charged with multiple felonies. Agree on nailing them with the child porn aspect. Could probably charge them with the attempt to collect child porn.

It traveled over the internet. Distribution charge should also apply.

This story is so outrageous I'm honestly having trouble believing it to be true.

Actually I can, there have been many schools issuing laptops now and I got some hands on experience with one of my cousins machine. The OS was 'locked down' and once I booted it to a Windows PE image (why they didn't password the BIOS I have no idea.) there was monitoring software on it that could grab screen shots and the like. It was very similar to the university that I went to where the support desk / teachers could take over and view your screen or 'disable' the machine etc.

My guess is the program had the ability to work the webcam and either a) they forgot to mention it. b) snooping administrator X did a "I wonder what this button does" on the monitoring system and went at it.
